SREP - Key achievements

Level playing field : SREP for the first time carried out for Significant Institutions according to: • a common methodology • a common decision-making process allowing for peer comparisons and

transversal analyses on a wide scale

High standards of supervision • Follow the EBA guidelines on SREP and draw on leading practices within the

SSM and as recommended by international bodies • Proportionality, flexibility and continuous improvement • Supervisory decisions - not only additional capital requirements but also

additional measures tailored to banks’ specific weaknesses

Sound risk assessment • Combination of quantitative and qualitative elements • Holistic assessment of institutions’ viability taking into account their

specificities • Forward-looking perspective

SREP in CRD IV - Article 97 ...the competent authorities shall review the arrangements, strategies, processes and mechanisms implemented by the institutions and evaluate: (a) risks to which the institutions are or might be exposed; (b) risks that an institution poses to the financial system and (c) risks revealed by stress testing taking into account the nature,

scale and complexity of an institution's activities.

RTS, ITS and EBA Guidelines

• Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on joint decisions on prudential requirements

• Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) and ITS on the functioning of colleges of supervisors

• Guidelines on common procedures and methodologies for the SREP (EBA/GL/2014/13) - 19 December 2014

Constrained judgement

Fair flexibility in a four-grade scale where Phase 2 score can be improved by one notch and worsened by two notches based on supervisory judgment

Ensures the right balance between: • a common process, ensuring consistency across the

SSM banks and defining an anchor point, • and the necessary supervisory judgment, to take into

account the specificities and complexity of an institution.

Adjustments go in both directions and are fully documented by the JST in the integrated IT system

Departing from constrained judgement not allowed as a rule

Constrained judgment effectively used by JSTs for all risk categories in both directions: improving as well as worsening Phase 2 scores

Internal Governance & Risk Management

3.3. SREP - Methodology: Element 2 (1/2)

Is there a compliance function in place that is

hierarchically and functionally separate and operationally independent from any business activity responsibilities?

Are there mechanisms in place to ensure

that senior management can act in a timely manner to effectively manage, and where necessary mitigate, material adverse risk exposures, in particular those that are close to or exceed the approved risk appetite statement or risk limits?

Two examples of Key Questions

Internal governance framework

(including key control functions such as risk management, internal auditing, compliance)

Risk management framework and risk culture

Risk infrastructure, internal data and reporting

ECB Banking Supervision: SSM priorities 2016 (extract) Liquidity The 2015 Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process revealed that a number of banks do not yet fully meet supervisory expectations regarding the sound management of liquidity risks. The SSM will therefore focus on the reliability of banks’ Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Processes (ILAAP). Banks’ progress in implementing and maintaining sound frameworks for managing liquidity and funding risk, both in a going concern situation and under stressed circumstances, will be scrutinised.

3.6. SREP - Methodology: Overall assessment

Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process

The overall SREP assessment (holistic view) Provides synthetic overview of an institution’s risk

profile: • Based on the assessment of all four elements (not the

simple sum) • As a starting point the four SREP elements are

considered equally important Takes into account:

• the institution’s capital/liquidity planning to ensure a sound trajectory towards the full implementation of CRD IV/CRR,

• peer comparisons, • the macro environment under which the institution

operates.

In line with the EBA SREP Guidelines (table 13, pp. 170 and 171), the overall SREP score reflects the supervisor’s overall assessment of the viability of the institution: higher scores reflect an increased risk to the viability of the institution stemming from one or several features of its risk profile, including its business model, its internal governance framework, and individual risks to its solvency or liquidity position

An institution’s risk profile is necessarily multi-faceted, and many risk factors are inter-related

3.8. SREP - Methodology: SREP decision (1/4)

Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process

SREP decisions by the Supervisory Board (followed by Governing Council non-objection procedure)

SREP decisions may include:

• Additional own fund requirements

o In 2015 expressed as a CET1 ratio add-on (in excess of the minimum CET1 ratio)

o Recommendation to follow a linear path towards “fully loaded” ratios

• Institution-specific quantitative liquidity requirements o LCR higher than the regulatory minimum o Higher survival periods o National measures

• Other, qualitative supervisory measures o Additional supervisory measures stemming from Article 16(2) of the

SSM Regulation are e.g. the restriction or limitation of business, the requirement to reduce risks and the imposition of additional or more frequent reporting obligations.

The overall SREP is the basis for assessing capital and liquidity adequacy and for taking any necessary supervisory measures to address concerns

Stacking order: Pillar 1, Net Pillar 2, buffers

In 2015 Pillar 2 requirements and (phase-in)

buffers in CET 1

CET1 capital to be taken into account for the MDA calculation is limited to the amount not used to meet the Pillar 1 and 2 CET 1 requirements

Focus on MDA* (in line with EBA Opinion of 18 December 2015)

CET 1 Capital Requirements

* Maximum Distributable Amount: Breaches of the combined buffer requirement (CBR) - defined as the sum of the applicable buffers - lead to mandatory restrictions on distributions (e.g. dividends, coupon payments on AT1 capital instruments, discretionary bonuses). A bank which fails to meet its CBR will be automatically prohibited from distributing more than the so called Maximum Distributable Amount (MDA). The MDA is the bank’s distributable profit multiplied by a factor ranging between 0.6 and 0 depending on how much CET1 capital is missing to meet the CBR.

Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process

Concerning the institution-specific supervisory liquidity requirements for 2015: LCR requirements have come into force on 01.10.2015

Liquidity assessment takes into account qualitative and

quantitative assessment, including metrics such as: • funding profile • survival period • liquid assets • reliance on short-term wholesale funding applicable

Example of specific liquidity measures

require an LCR higher than the regulatory minimum

require a specific minimum survival period

require a minimum amount of liquid assets

Article 16(2) of the SSM Regulation The ECB has the following powers: (a) to require institutions to hold own funds in excess of the capital

requirements; (b) to require the reinforcement of the arrangements, processes,

mechanisms and strategies; (c) to require institutions to present a plan to restore compliance with supervisory requirements and set a

deadline for its implementation, (…) ; (d) to require institutions to apply a specific provisioning policy or treatment of assets in terms of own

funds requirements; (e) to restrict or limit the business, operations or network of institutions or to request the divestment of

activities that pose excessive risks to the soundness of an institution; (f) to require the reduction of the risk inherent in the activities, products and systems of institutions; (g) to require institutions to limit variable remuneration (…) ; (h) to require institutions to use net profits to strengthen own funds; (i) to restrict or prohibit distributions to shareholders, members or holders of Additional Tier 1 instruments

where the prohibition does not constitute an event of default of the institution; (j) to impose additional or more frequent reporting requirements (…) ; (k) to impose specific liquidity requirements, including restrictions on maturity mismatches between assets

and liabilities; (l) to require additional disclosures; (m) to remove at any time members from the management body of credit institutions

4.1. SREP - Outcome: Key risks

Overall level of risks in 2015 for Significant Institutions has not decreased compared to 2014 The banking system’s capital needs to be maintained, and in some cases, strengthened

Overall capital requirements increased by 50 basis points (bps) from 2015 to 2016 Many banks are still recovering from the 2012 financial crisis, and they continue to face risks and

headwinds. In this context, compared to 2015, the average Pillar 2 requirements increased by 30 bps. Phasing-in systemic buffers explain the second part of the capital requirements increase (20 bps).

Adaptation of banks’ business model in a low interest rate environment spotted as main concern

4.2. SREP - Outcome: CET 1 level (1/2)

Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process 33

Most Significant Institutions have currently capital levels above CET1 requirements and buffers

Banks with CET1 supply above CET 1 requirements but below early warning threshold of 25bp

Banks with CET 1 supply below CET 1 requirements

CET 1 ratio requirements (2016 phase-in) = Pillar 1 + Pillar 2 + Buffers (without early warning threshold of 25 bp)

Banks with CET1 supply above CET 1 requirements and early warning threshold ratio

Note: CET1 supply level capped for readability purposes

Average of SREP CET 1 requirements* of Significant Institutions is around 9.9%

Median of SREP CET 1 requirements* of Significant Institutions is around 9.7%

Harmonization of SREP CET 1 requirements achieved as part of the SREP 2015 with more consistent and risk-sensitive Pillar 2 CET 1 requirements

4.3. SREP - Capital Planning

Scope for SREP performed by ECB Banking Supervision. Subject to changes depending on factors that influence the SREP outcome (business model, governance, risk profile, capital structure, quality of ICAAP, stress testing, funding and liquidity profile …). All other things being equal, the SREP ratio in the capital decision can expected to remain broadly stable over the phase-in period.

All things being equal, the Pillar 2 requirements set out in the SREP 2015 decisions also provide an indication for the future; especially the capital conservation buffer will phase-in by 2019 with the Pillar 2 net requirement reducing in equal fashion.

First SREP cycle could be performed efficiently and promoted a level-playing field

Significant harmonization

• Constrained judgment effectively used

• Stronger correlation between risk profile of institutions and capital requirements

In 2016, the SREP methodology will be refined on certain aspects, e.g.

• Liquidity and funding risk assessment

• More harmonized framework for the assessment of ICAAP

• 2016 stress tests under preparation
